2:00 pm
weekdays at 3:30. my handle at twitter is @christine romans and ali will be back next week. till then you can find him on facebook and twitter. facebook and twitter. have a great weekend. -- captions by vitac -- www.vitac.com en. it's 2:00 p.m. on the east coast, 11:00 a.m. out west. thanks for joining us. i'm miguel marquez in for fredricka whitfield. new information about a horrifying hostage situation in al bam pla now in its fifth day. police are in constant communication with a man holding a 5-year-old in an underground bunker in midland city, alabama. george howell is there. police came out with new details what items the suspect jimmy lee dikes is giving the child. what are they? >> we just heard from the
2:01 pm
sheriff here, wally olson. he said a few interesting things. we learned that mr. dykes has electric heater and blankets. certainly it's cold in the bunker, about a constant 50 degrees in that bunker underground. they're still able to get the young boy medications he needs. he suffers from asperger's syndrome and dhd. also able to get him the crayons and coloring book. also toys. and there was another interesting thing that i noticed in this particular press conference. when the sheriff said that he wanted to thank mr. dykes, listen to this. >> he's told us that he has a lk heater and blankets inside that he's taking care of him. he's also allowed us to provide coloring books, medication, toys, and i want to thank him for taking care of our child.
2:02 pm
that's very important. >> reporter: again, he wanted to thank him for taking care of their boy. you can tell this is a very personal, it's something that they're paying very close attention to, everything they're able to glean from communications with mr. dykes. miguel, remember, this all started back on tuesday when investigators say that mr. dykes boarded a school bus and allegedly shot and killed the bus driver, then abducted this 5-year-old boy taking had imback to this property here where he has an underground bunker and now in day five of the standoff. >> interesting that they thanked him. it clearly indicates they're trying to communicate with him in every way possible. what do we know about mr. dikes? are police revealing anything about a possible motive here? >> not at this point. they are very tight-lipped about any communications except to tell us that the negotiations are still ongoing. remember, they say that the young boy is physically unharmed. that's all we've got to go with
2:03 pm
at this point, miguel. >> we hope this, would out for everyone in the most positive way. thank you very much for keeping tabs on it. new details today in the case of a lead prosecutor in texas who was gunned down in broad daylight thursday morning. a friend of prosecutor mark haas tells cnn he feared for his life and carried a gun with him to work. days before he was ambushed and shot multiple times walking from his car. he was killed in an employee parking lot a block from the cough man county courthouse. witnesses say one or two gunmen wearing masks jumped in a getaway car. authorities still have no leads. california's parole board is recommending freedom for one of charles manson's convicted followers. 70-year-old bruce davis was sentenced to life in prison in 1972 for the murders of two men. he was not involved in the more infamous murder of actress sharon tate. jerry brown now has 30 days to decide whether to release david. if freed, he would be the first
2:04 pm
convicted manson family member to leave prison. a massive manhunt for a convicted murderer. mistakenly released from prison, it's over. illinois police captured stephen robbins last night 60 miles outside of chicago three days after he rent on the lam. is he serving time for a murder 11 years ago in indianapolis. it's still unclear how he went free tuesday following a court hearing. new allegations of doping against alex rodriguez. a-rod being accused of taking performance enhancing drugs from a florida clinic but this is not the first time. he admitted in the past to doping but says he's been clean since 2003. national correspondent susan candiotti is live for us in new york. susan? >> hi, miguel. he is again trying to distance himself from this week's controversy involving peds and a miami clinic. now there's another report alleging alex rodriguez got home visits to his waterfront mansion from main who ran that clinic. espn quoting unidentified
2:05 pm
sources says that is man, anthony boscsh injected a-rod with performance enhancing drugs. once he was reportedly kicked out after bosh had trouble with finding a vein. similar drug claims were leveled earlier this week in the miami new times newspaper which says it has a diary containing notes from bosh detailing drugs including human growth hormone. cnn has been unable to see the documents in question. we did go to the clinic days ago, but it's been shut down. bosh denies all allegations, and through a spokesman he tells cnn he did not treat nor is he associated with players including a-rod. earlier statement to cnn a-rod also says none of this is true and through his lawyers calls the documents about smim iglet." his lawyers add this, "in regards to the new allegations made in espn's outside the line
2:06 pm
story, we can say they are not true. alex is working diligently on his rehabilitation and is looking forward to getting back on the field as soon as possible." remember, a-rod has repeatedly said he stopped taking performance enhancing drugs back in 2003. >> susan, if major league baseball's investigation into this clinic goes anywhere, what impact might it have on a-rod's contract with the yankees? >> that's the big question. is this all going to go anywhere. think about this. under a collective bargaining agreement, teams cannot discipline players for this kind of thing. our cnn legal analyst paul cowen tells us his main worry would be a suspension possibly from the baseball commissioner and that could affect his contract with the yankees. >> obviously, if he's not showing up to play baseball because of a suspension, they would have certain rights under the contract then to pay him nothing or considerably less money but it gets complicated
2:07 pm
because of the multiple agreements in question. >> we're a long way off from that. no idea, of course, where major league baseball's investigation is heading at this point. back to you, miguel. >> susan candiotti, thank you very much. it's groundhog day. the day where we find out if we'll ever, ever have an early string or six more weeks of miserable winter. who better to predict that than the legendary prognosticator punxsutawney phil. >> so you faithful, there is no shadow to see. an early spring for you and me. >> i don't know if i buy it. you heard what he had to say though. but but what chuck the groundhog? he's the furry prognosticator at the staten island zoo. he also predicted an early spring. the super bowl isn't just about touch downs and penalty flags. there's controversy surrounding the big game.
2:08 pm
find out what deer apartmentlers, ray lewis and doping have in common. so...how'd it go? well, dad, i spent my childhood living with monks learning the art of dealmaking. you've mastered monkey-style kung fu? no. priceline is different now. you don't even have to bid. master hahn taught you all that? oh, and he says to say (translated from cantonese) "you still owe him five bucks." your accent needs a little work.

2:12 pm
>> >> now the 49ers issued a statement saying the team stands by the lgbt community and cully ser apologized for the remarks. you're not buying it. why is that? >> well, i mean you can hear his vernacular in the interview. when you read the statement released by the 49ers he sounds like winston churchill. it seems as if he had a lot of coaching in order to do that apology. in my opinion, when you're being coached by other people to apologize, it's not coming from the heart. i'm happy to hear he's doing sensitivity training and going to volunteer with the trevor project because it works out of kids kicked out of their homes for being lgbt. we'll see if he's sincere with his apology. just in the statement alone, i'm not buying. >> talk about ray lewis. he will retire at the end of this season. do you believe it? if the ravens don't win the super bowl, will he still retire? >> it's hard to tell, right? is he brett favre? is he going to come back? i don't know. one thing i will say is that his story line has been fantastic. when you think about the last time he was in the super bowl and all the different disappointments the team has had, fantastic historical defenses but totally anemic offenses unable to get enough points to get to the playoffs.
2:13 pm
here at the beginning of the season, it looked like they had a really strong chance. again the offense falls to pieces. they have to replace the offensive coordinator. all the things this team has been through has been fantastic over the course of the season and to see ray end on top, i think a lot of people would be happy to see it. if he doesn't get there, he's the last person from the '96 draft. his body hurts. >> he's been in hot water accusing of using deer antler spray to recover from injury. it contains a form of growth hormone. listen to his response. >> because i'm here to win the super bowl, not to entertain somebody that doesn't affect that one way or another. it shows you how people really plan things and try to attack people from the outside. it's just foolish. >> so two things real quick. is this a common performance enhancing drug, and do you believe the denial? >> is it common? i can tell you that i've spoken to a number of colleagues and
2:14 pm
you know, a month ago, we had no idea what this deer antler spray was. no, i don't think it's common. and you know, do we believe his denials? unfortunately we're now living in the age in which an athlete is guilty until proven innocent. after the baseball scandal for the '90s, after lance armstrong. you know, it's really difficult to believe an athlete no matter how popular he or she may be whether he they tell you they did not engage in performance-enhancing drugs. and when you've got deer antler spray that nobody's heard of, it is becomes skeptical. >> thank you very much. have a great time down in new orleans. >> thanks. talk to you later. >> see you. do you want to know how to eat healthy at the super bowl or at the super bowl party. >> do you need a preview of some of the best commercials this year? if so, cnn.com has it covered for you. jarrett bellini explains. >> i know there's nothing more exciting than a guy sitting at
2:15 pm
his desk pointing at things on a monitor but bear with me and i'm going to show you great content we have@cnn.com/super bowl. first of all, a great story about healthy foods you can eat at a super bowl party which mind you, is a terrible idea because the super bowl is all about calories, about chicken wings and pizza and other horrible things you can put in your body. if you want to go healthy, we've got a great article about that. of course, for some of you, the game doesn't matter. you really don't care. but there is the halftime show, and that sort of matters, beyonce will be performing this year and we also have a gallery of the best and worst halftime performances, and of course, the other big nonfootball thing that everybody loves is the commercials and@cnn.com/super bowl we have some of those to preview. you can check them out before they go on tv on sunday. so we've covered commercials, the halftime show, we've covered food. there's one other thing that
2:16 pm
most people will probably watch, too. it's the puppy bowl. we've got a little thing on here where you can preview the puppies that will be competing this year. don't miss that because it's puppies. it's puppies and you know what in if you're not into that and not into all the other aspects of the game but still being dragged out to this party, we also have an article that will tell you how not to be a jerk at somebody's house just because you don't like things that are fun doesn't mean you have to ruin everybody else's fun. all of that can be fou found@cnn.com/super bowl. we'll have ingame analysis from our friends at bleacher report. check it out. enjoy the game. back to you, miguel. >> thank you, jarrett bellini. i hope his mother doesn't let him sit like that at home. cnn is live in new orleans with our take on the super bowl. we welcome rachel nichols to kick off in new orleans a cnn bleacher special in afternoon, 4:00 p.m. eastern. hillary clinton has said her
2:17 pm
good-byes as secretary of state. but now the speculation really starts about her next move. what polls are showing about support for a white house run. oil changes at meineke are always a great deal.

2:19 pm
2:20 pm
willing to hold direct talks with iran. >> we would be prepared to meet bilaterally with the iranian leadership. we would not make it a secret that we are doing that. we would let our partners know if that occasion presented itself. that offer stands, but it must be real and tangible. and there las to be an agenda that they're prepared to speak to. >> the vice president was speaking at a security conference in munich. meanwhile the iranian foreign minister said he hopes a new secretary of state john kerry
2:21 pm
will work toward softening washington's policies toward iran. hillary clinton has said good-byes to colleagues at the state department. >> i am so grateful that we've had a chance top contribute in each of our ways to making our country and our world stronger, safer, fairer, and better. >> john kerry was sworn in yesterday and brings in the doughnuts for his new job monday morning. good mof. but a cnn political ed other tore paul steinhauser explains the hot topic is what could happen in four years. >> hey, miguel. it's the biggest question in presidential politics. will she run? the she, of course, is now former secretary of state hillary clinton. when asked in a global town hall a few days ago if she was thinking of making another bid for the white house, this was her answer. >> i am not thinking about anything like that right now. >> here's what she said the same
2:22 pm
day in an interview with cnn. >> have you decided that you absolutely will not run? >> well, i have absolutely no plans to run. >> no plans, but she isn't closing the door. clinton's returning to private life with poll numbers any politician would love. nearly seven in ten in a recent poll said they approved of the job she was doing as america's top dip low mat. and two-thirds said they had a favorable impression of her. but two things there was a partisan divide in both polls with only a minority of republicans giving her a thumbs up. if she becomes a politician again, we could see the numbers come down a bit. she.shouldn't be in a rush to make it up her mind says paul begala who was a top political advisor to president clinton. >> she's not going to commit to running. there's no need to rush into 20816. >> if she does run, our own
2:23 pm
cnn/orc poll indicates she would be the front-runner for the democratic presidential nomination. but we're getting ahead of ourselves. let's let clinton enjoy some down time, at least for a month or two. miguel? >> at least a month or two. john kerry told the bloston globe he was offered the job a full week before susan rice with drew her mind for consideration. he's one of the biggest nfl stars of all time. but it's a scandal that has people talking about dan marino, even as he prepares to work the super bowl for cbs. but first, we all know we're going to watch the super bowl for the big plays and big hits, but those hits can have a lifelong impact on players after they walk off the field. in today's human factor, chief medical correspondent dr. sanjay gupta introduces us to former detroit line la ma campbell ta talks about the invisible wounds of football and what he's doing now to make the sport safer. >> lamar campbell has achieved what many young men only dream
2:24 pm
of, after four years starting for the university of wisconsin, he made it to the pros. >> i got offered to come to camp for the detroit lions as a free agent in '98. i made the team and played with them for five years. >> injuries ended his nfl career but campbell successfully found a new life after the game. >> yeah, great. >> as a real estate broker. >> welcome back to life after the game. >> and radio talk show host on the voice america sports network. a platform he uses to educate other players about transitioning to life after football. as well as the dangers of injuries you cannot really see. repeated hits to the head. >> the perception of what a concussion was was different. i don't think we thought that you had a concussion until you were new yorked out on the field. and we looked at it as beige of honor. >> as a player he didn't know that concussions can cause serious injury to the brain. now campbell says playing football takes years off a player's life. >> cramps all over my body and headaches and migraines. >> he says he's also suffered some memory loss.
2:25 pm
>> there were situations where i don't remember a certain series. like i would be out there and not realize exactly what was going on. >> while he was never diagnosed, looking back, campbell believes he's had over ten concussions in his football career. and he believes players today need to recognize the symptoms and be willing to let their brains heal. a year ago, he considered donating his brain for research in chronic traumatic encephalopathy or cte, a degenerative brain disorder found in athletes with repetitive brain trauma and most recently linked to the suicides of junior say au and dave duerson. >> i wrapped my brain around it for a long time. i think my decision was made, it was just the timing when to tell my family with everything that was going on when andre waters, dave dur, it was such a hot topic. one thing you didn't want to do is scare your family members. you didn't want them to think you were on the verge of doing something that drastic.

police in alabama say they're in constant communication with a man holding a 5-year-old boy hostage in an underground bunker. the standoff in in its fifth day. negotiators are talking with 65-year-old jimmy lee dykes through aventlation pipe. police say the boy has an electric blanket and dykes allowed officials to send down medication and toys. he killed the driver of a school bus and police aren't speculating on the motive. and now to a murder trial that really has people talking. the victim travis alexander was found shot, stabbed 27 times in his throat was slit from ear to ear. prosecutors say it was the work of a jealous lover, jodi arias, but arias says it was self-defense in that alexander was a sex maniac who threatened her with bodily harm. hln's alexis weed takes a look at what will happen if she's convicted of murder and gets the
2:38 pm
death penalty. >> jodi arias could join three other women currently sitting on arizona's death row if a jury finds her guilty as charged. a first-degree murder con vikds could land arias in line for what's recently become one of the nation's busiest death chambers. the state carries out all post 1992 convictions by lethal injection and now permits witnesses to watch prisoners put to death. its courts recently gave the green light for witnesses to observe the entire execution process, including insertion of the lethal iv. arizona courts further okayed a one-drug dose of pent totebarbital as the meth odd for death but the state is said to have only another supply of the drug to carry out one more execution before it's forced to find an alternative. convicted rapist and double murderer dale stokely was put to death last month by prison officials who delivered his lethal injection by cutting into his groin area.
2:39 pm
this in efforts to find an artery suitable for delivering the drug. the femoral catheter procedure is standard alternative when officials run into trouble with inserting iv lines into a prison's arm. arizona has carried out 34 executions since readopting capital punishment in 1992. yet, none of those were carried out against a woman. the only woman to be executed in the state's history eva duggan, was put to death by hanging more than 0 years ago. a death sentence would mean arias would spend the rest of her days in a maximum custody 12 x 7 foot cell. >> next week, the trial will enter its sixth week. is someone lying to you? in a minute, we'll meet someone who teach you the three things you need to know if someone isn't being honest and he'll help us figure out who is telling the truth in the manti te'o hoax.
2:40 pm
2:41 pm
2:42 pm
2:43 pm
as lies go, this one was a whopper. you've heard is the story by now, notre dame football player manti te'o was duped by another man pretending to be a woman. they had an online percentage that ended when a fictional girlfriend named lennay died. this week the man who perpetrated the hoax said he did it because he was in love with te'o. is he citying the truth. >> steve is an expert in interviewing and detecting deception, trained by the fbi. he's worked with cops around the world, training them in lie detection and human behavior. i want to let folks take a look at the interview first. >> me, it i was hurting. i was like whoa, like, you know, i've given so much into this and i realized right then in that
2:44 pm
moment that i poured so much into lennay that i myself wasn't getting nothing and look what i was left with. i was crying. i was hurt emotionally. just all kinds of things just took over. so right then and there, i made the decision, i can't do this lennay thing anymore. >> looking at this interview, is this someone generally telling the truth or not and how can you tell? >> firstly i look at how people take ownership or possession of the story and also look for the emotions being in the correct places. and also how people answer questions. i believe he is telling the truth in fact in relation to these issues because the emotions are in the right place. i might be able to think of a lie but can i communicate it with believability and that's what lies have to consider when they're telling a story. in this case, the emotions were in the right place. >> so the bigger the lie gets, does it get harder or easier to lie and does the lie get harder to for someoneton detect?
2:45 pm
>> we're not very good at spotting a lie research shows when faces with a lie. but bear in mind, for every one lie a person tells, they have to invent two or three to protect themselves from the first one and secondly have to have a great memory. they don't want to contradict what they've said and that becomes a problem because ala bill clinton he got deeper and deeper till there was no escape exit. they do get more difficult and we're not very good at picking lies. >> interesting. if you had to give me three things for those of us who aren't trained that we should look for if someone is lying in an important conversation, what would they be? >> well, firstly, is the person answering the question or are they being evasive, dismissive or do they deflect or answer the question with another question. that's a dead giveaway. number two, is does their body language weflect what they're saying? is there conflict between what they're saying, what their body language is expressing. body language is often more
2:46 pm
overt and thirdly, are they taking ownership. usually you'll find in homicide cases i've worked on, truthful people take ownership and possession. not only will they tell you if they're relaying a truthful story what occurred, but how they felt. whereas deceptive people don't do that. they'll create distance, disassociation and separation. so they're very robotic because they don't want to trip themselves up. >> mr. van alpern, thank you very much for joining us. it's super bowl weekend and we're thinking about our favorite football movies. our critic will tell us which ones rank highest on her list. six people sharing one mission, to get in shape and take part of the malibu triathlon in september. dr. sanjay gupta joined members of fit challenge team for their first workout in atlanta. take a look. >> one, two, three. >> nice and easy, nice and easy.

kleenex seen saying those two words makes most people weep. the story of brian piccolo and gale sayers and their friendship together. this was just a made for tv movie actually but it lives on in everybody's consciousness because it's so strong and really human elements like friendship and building a team together. and when brian comes down with cancer, it's just so crushing. it's devastating. and the end of this movie is -- there will be not a dry eye in the house. >> yeah. brutal. all right. now everybody's favorite. it's almost cheese ball anymore. rudy, rudy, rudy. >> i love sean aston and i love "rudy," because who hasn't worked really, really hard for something and just wanted the fruits of their labors to be an entire football stadium yelling your name when you finally get to take the field? when you're finally a player at the college that you wanted to go to? this movie is spectacular. and is a lesson for anybody who

3:01 pm
police came out with new details what the suspect 658-year-old jimmy lee dikes is giving the child. what is he giving him? >> we got new insight into exactly how he is treating this young boy. we know that mr. dikes now has an electric heater and blankets, keep in mind it's cold there underground about a constant 50 degrees underground. that is good that the young boy has blankets. also know that they are able to get medications to this child. he suffers from aspergers syndrome and adhd. the crayons and coloring books we learned about a few days ago. investigators are able to give the boy toys. that's all good news. but here's one thing. i want you to listen to how the sheriff relayed this information to us, the personal appeal really he made to mr. dikes. watch this. >> he's also allowed us to provide coloring books, medication, toys, and i want to

3:04 pm
bosh injected a-rod. on one occasion bosh was reportedly kicked out of the third baseman's home after bosh allegedly had trouble with finding a claim. similar claims were leveled earlier this week in the miami new times newspaper which says it has a diary containing notes from bosh detailing drugs including human growth hormone giventon several athletes. cnn has been unable to see those documents in question. we did go to the clinic earlier this week but it's been shut down. bosh denies all allegations. through a spokesman he tells cnn he did not treat nor is he associated with players inclu including a-rod. in an earlier statement to cnn a-rod also says none of this is true and calls the documents about him illegitimate. in a new statement issued friday night, his lawyers add this. in regard to the new allegations made in espn's outside the line story, we can say they are not true. alex is working diligently on his rehabilitation and is
3:05 pm
looking forward to getting back on the field as soon as possible. as you may know, he's recovering from hip surgery. now, a-rod has repeatedly said he stopped taking performance-enhancing drugs in 2003. miguel in. >> susan, are the authorities looking at this question in major league baseball says it's aware of the situation? >> that's right. they are investigating. now, dea won't comment on it. cnn's legal analyst paul callen says there is plenty for authorities to look into. >> the dea would be looking to see if the players are using banned controlled substances. the federal code has a whole list of substances that are banned that a prescription is required for their use, and if someone is importing these substances into the u.s. and then redistributing those distance substances, there could be a variety of federal drug crimes involved. >> now, callan says a-rod's first concern should be a
3:06 pm
potential suspension from major league baseball. that could still be a long way off. >> thank you very much. >> you're welcome. it's groundhog day. the day when we find out if we'll have an early spring or six more miserable weeks of winter. it all depends on the legend drid prognosticate are punxsutawney phil. did he see his slad doe this morning? >> so you faithful, there is no shadow to see. an early spring for you and me. >> i'll believe it when i see it. you heard phil what he had to say. what about chuck the groundhog? he's staten island zoo's prognosticator. he also predicted an early spring. hmm. speaking of animal predictions, are the bulls going to continue their run on wall street? we'll look at what's driving the dow's big climb back to the 14,000 point and what it could mean for your bottom line. and this goat could be worth a million dollars after sunday's super bowl. i sat down with the goat and the

3:10 pm
the revolutionary people's liberation party calls him a martyr. friday's blast killed a turkish guard and wounded a television journalist. egypt's football season kicked off today about the matches were the first since the deadly riot broke out a year ago in port said. today's game were played in security military stadiums with no fans present. meanwhile, professors anger at the pace of democratic reform clashed with police in front of the presidential palace this weekend. one person was killed. nuclear weapons in the hands of rogue countries is a threat that world leaders are watching closely. and north korea in particular is getting a lot of close attention over fears it could launch at any moment. cnn international anchor jon mann has more on that. >> do you want the good news or the pad news first? the a bangs of what we know, north korea can set off nuclear explosions. it has done that twice before in 2006 near the town pugggyeri and
3:11 pm
in 2009 not far away. now they plan to do it again. also, they can put a rocket into space and did that last december and says it will send up more, but do a nuclear program and a rocket program together give them a weapon? no, not yet. first, there is the missile to deliver the weapon. keep in mind the missile doesn't have to just go up, it has to come down, as well in one piece. north korea has never managed to do that. and it has to come down down near or at a target. there's no indication that north korea is anywhere close to the kind of guidance system that would enable it to do that. then there's the matter of what the missile will be carrying. it needs to have a nuclear device small enough to fit inside of a warhead. there's no indication that they're close to anything small enough to be at the top of a rocket or any rocket big enough to carry what they'd have to
3:12 pm
carry up top. and any weapon sitting inside a rocket warhead would still have to be tough enough to survive heat, vibration and the other rigors of a space trip. >> so their nuclear devices are dangerous. if you took one of these test devices and set it off on wall street, it would destroy most of lower manhattan but it's not deliverable. they can't really bring it any place. so it doesn't yet represent a threat to any country outside of north korea. >> there is every reason to be impressed that a desperately poor corrupt like north korea has gotten as far as it has. every reason to be worried that it is still at work. but right now, north korea is still working with trouble withsome technology doing the bakes. and luckily for its neighbors, the basics do not equal a working deliverable nuclear weapon. back to you. >> that was jonathan mann, thank you very much for that. your 401(k) probably made some money this week. the dow hit 14,000.

just making its debut on tv, the third spiderman movie was the box office champ. and the dow jones was hovering around 14,000. fast forward five years, and that spiderman is just a distant memory but the dow has come roaring back. allison cossack explains. >> well, miguel, party like it's 2007. on friday, the dow closed above 14,000. it's a milestone we haven't seen since 2007. but here at the nyse, we hardly heard a peep from traders when it happened. no hooting like in years past. maybe it's the been there, done that attitude.
3:17 pm
still the dow lit the mark thanks to upbeat economic data. wall street saw the january jobs report as good enough even though investors really expected better. also consumer confidence and manufacturing rose and that pushed stocks over the edge. but the momentum has been there for a while. the dow has been powering higher ever since it hit rock bottom in 2009, it fell as low as 6,500. so hitting 14,000 is a reminder of the comeback, but most analysts we talk to say it doesn't mean much. instead, they've got their eyes on the next big one. >> these are certainly nice round numbers. i mean i personally think it will be more of an event once we break through that october 2007 all-time high, that that is more of a milestone than just going through a thousand marker, which we, again, have done before. >> and it's that all-time high of 14,164 that we're watching for now.
3:18 pm
miguel, back to you. >> well, tomorrow at 5:00 p.m. eastern i'm going to talk with our wall street guy about this big jump in the markets. he'll tell us why some people are worried we're headed for what could be a big drop tomorrow at 5:00 eastern. it's official. canada will be penniless by monday. no, they're not going broke, just not issuing coins at the penny coins anymore. over time they'll disappear from cash registers. what happens if you have something that costs let's say $1.03, it gets rounded down to a dollar. ditching the penny is nothing new. australia did it back in 1966. in canada can go penniless, could you go a whole day without using cash or pa plastic to pay? how one of our reporters spent her way around new york with nothing more than her smartphone. and an angry goat may be the star of the super bowl. i sat down with the guys and the goat hoping to win a chance to be seen by millions of football fans tomorrow.

3:30 pm
likely pay thousands more to get their fingers on one. speaking of thousands, you would need about two grand just to get in the door of the superdome. that's the price of the cheapest seats. you'll need tissue for when your nose starts bleeding. the cost of commercials will bleed some businesses of profit. the price of a 30-second spot, nearly $4 million but with exposure like that the benefits could add up. carl an zuz, cnn atlanta. >> all right. it's crunch time. time for the players to get ready and the fans to get nervous. we're bringing in all the action live at 4:00 p.m. eastern today. rachel nichols and ernie johnson junior have a special of our special kickoff in new orleans. >> miguel, thanks. i'm here with ernie johnson from turner sports. ernie, the city is full of superlatives. nothing like the food in new orleans. nothing like the music in new orleans. and there is certainly po nothing hike a super bowl in new orleans. >> you're right about that food. i had gator last night and it was darn good. you look around noernsz and all

3:44 pm
time warner center in new york. did you actually like shopping without cash or credit cards? seems like a lot of apps, as well. i have a lot of cards, a lot of apps. which one did you like the most? >> yeah, look, it was a little bit wonky being able to walk into a store and scan it. you think this could be the future. it took me a little bit beforehand. i had to go in, put in the credit card information. you have to trust doing that. it was interesting when we tried out all the different ways people are innovating in the sector. it was very cool to be able to just scan it. i would say my favorite one was square because that really seems like the future. it uses gps to locate you using your phone. you walk in, the cash register looks at you, says hey laurie and charges you. that's when the technology disappears when it seems like this could be the future. you get a little sketched out okay, they know my identity. i would say that's the one to look out for. >> reminds me of "minority
3:45 pm
report" na movie that seems to have called it so well. >> yeah. >> can you phone actually replace your wallet? and if it does, aren't we talking a substantial security risk? >> look, i mean, can it actually replace your wallet? that's a little bit far off. we're definitely seeing this could be the future. and if this is the future and if your phone could replace your wallet, what happens if you lose your phone? almost like you lose your phone and your wallet. you've got to be careful. i put a lot of personal information into these apps. google wallet had something where if you lose your phone and have your information attached to this, you can go online and deactivate your account. i think a lot of these companies are figuring out the safest ways to go forward with this because if you do lose your smartphone and you have all your credit card information in there, that poses a major problem, miguel. >> lore-siegel, thank you very much. >> thank you. >> for more hi-tech ideas, go to cnn.com/tech and look for the gaming and gadgets tab. it was carrie washington's

alabama is now in its fifth day. police say the boy has an electric blanket and dykes has allowed officials to send down medication and toys. this is starting to get hot on the nets but not nearly as hot as it did in court. a man on trial for assault with a deadly weapon took a swipe at his own lawyer in the courtroom. police quickly took him to the ground before he could cause any harm. the suspect now faces additional charges of assault and battery. and a sad day for the bush family. former president george w. bush's scottish terrier, barney, the adorable little dog, has died. the former first dog was 12, and had been suffering from lymphomaa. condolence messages for the bushes have been pouring in online. thanks for joining us this hour. keep it here. we're now about to kick off our cnn bleacher report special, kickoff in new orleans. we're standing by at the
4:00 pm
sidelines. i'll see you all again tomorrow at 2:00 p.m., right here in the cnn "newsroom." thanks for watching. down on the bayou, where the spell of binets float through the air, good times float through the mighty mississippi. life marches to the beat of the brass. if mardi gras marks the start to a season of revelry, what better way to kick things off than with the biggest party of the year? super bowl xlvii arrives to a revitalized new orleans. the magical creole spirit has returned. and two coaches make history as brothers. the wait will finally be over to see how one legacy ends and if another begins. >> to the end zone for the touchdown!
4:01 pm
>> the 49ers are going to the super bowl! >> and baltimore is heading to new orleans! >> so as the historic super dome opens its doors, welcomes all to the game's highest cathedral, football prepares to deliver its finest sunday sermon. kickoff in new orleans. a cnn bleacher report special, next. welcome to new orleans! where the party is clearly already in full swing. you can feel it on the streets here. we are just 24 hours from the biggest game of the year. the super bowl! only this year it's got a little bit of a cajun beat. hello, i am rachel nichols, alongside ernie johnson, wanting to welcome everybody watching in the u.s. and from around the world. >> and let me be the first -- let me be the first to welcome rachel nichols to the turner
4:02 pm
family, cnn, and turner sports. we have enjoyed your work for a long time on espn, rachel and i know it's going to be wonderful that you're with us. and i think it's really nice that every show you do has to have a live audience. it's very, very impressive. >> i like this. this is a nice welcome. need to get everybody to show up at every event. so if you guys are ready for that, we're in. >> it's great to have you. >> thank you so much. and there is nothing that we love in sports more than a comeback. and this city has come back stronger than anybody might have hoped. new orleans is hosting its tenth super bowl. tying it with miami for the most-ever. but it's been a while. 11 years. years of devastation, loss, hurricane katrina. >> but its recovery has been nothing short of remarkable. where flooded houses once stood, new ones have arisen. residents have a new lease on
4:03 pm
life. there is still more work to be done, but for this super weekend, the big easy is gearing up in style. we will show you that and more in the next hour. but what brings us down here is the game. and what a game it's going to be. we welcome in the third member of our broadcast team, representing bleacherreport.com, and bringing you some super bowl history throughout the day. it's jared greenberg. >> i'm glad rachel is here, hopefully sharing in my rookie duties at turner sports. super bowl ratings is what we'll talk about and something that mystified me. do you know anybody that doesn't gather around the tv and watch the big game? well, i certainly don't. let's take a look at bleacher report's top five most watched super bowls, beginning with the giants and patriots. three-point dramatic win for the giants in super bowl xlii. a year later, nearly 99 million people watch the steelers beat the cardinals, giving pittsburgh a steel city six-pack. who-dat nation piled around the
4:04 pm
tv three years ago to watch the saints pick up a win in the super bowl. they're loving that here. the discount double-check was in full effect as witnessed by 111 million viewers. we book end with the patch and gman another wild finish between the teams. 300,000 fans more watch than the year prior. could this year's game break the record of last year? we have no shortage of storylines that won't bring people to the tv screen and none bigger than the harbaugh brothers going head-to-head in a very unique setting this week. one press conferences, opposing head coaches, discuss where they get their sideline demeanor from. and it's not their dad. they get their intensity from their mom. >> there's nobody in the family that has more competitive fire than my mother. and she competes like a maniac. so i -- number one, that is that. and she is just -- just always believed in us.
4:05 pm
i think that's the most important thing to me, that she believed in me. and john and joannie. and took us to games. and played catch with us. >> when you talk about the sibling rivalries in sports, and certainly the harbaugh story has taken center stage here, but you've got the mannings and the sister act of venus and serena, and basketball, reggie and cheryl miller. and boxing, of course, has the plich cos. cnn did a feature on the harbaughs, and we thought it was worth a couple of moments to bring you a piece of that. something that jim harbaugh would probably prefer we not show you. take a look. >> see these pants? you know, back in the '70s -- >> the plaids were big back in the '70s. >> the checkered pants.
4:06 pm
and every morning he would get up to go to school and he would have these pants or the other ones and some kind of striped or plaid shirt. and i would say, jim, you can't wear that to school. >> they were hand me downs from my brother. i would just wear what i had. we didn't exactly live the country club atmosphere when we were growing up. i think my mom is forgetting that a little bit. i'm just kidding. >> that's the thing about tv. you can say something in 1996 and then here it is in 2013. it comes back. but the harbaugh story has been awesome. you covered them a lot, rachel. >> yeah. i love, by the way, that jackie harbaugh is making fun of her son's pants while wearing the '80s sleeves on the blouse. we keep everything. we all know about jim, john, but it is the parents that are the secret weapons of this family. i got a chance to spend some time in wisconsin with them last year. and on tuesday morning, the fedex man comes to their house every week during the football season without fail.
4:07 pm
it is delivering a dvd from john's team, a dvd from jim's team. he comes into his basement, he sits down, and starts taking notes from each team of the week, sends them back to each son. so he is still coaching from the house, although he did say he wasn't giving either of his sons tips for this game. there are a few people who really -- e.j., who can really understand what the harbaugh family is feeling right now. but one of them is archie manning. i had the time to sit down with the new orleans saints quarterback this week to find out what it's like when peyton and eli played each other. and what this game means to this city he lives in and loves so much. what has it been like for you this week to see new orleans hosting a super bowl again? >> well, it's really been fun, rachel and we've all been anticipating it for so long. you know, really since hurricane katrina, trying to rebuild our
4:08 pm
city, and you know, one of the early things -- not that football is the most important thing, but this building right here is important to new orleans. and at that time, you know, we weren't sure we would ever have events. what was going to happen to this building. we weren't sure if the saints were going to come back here, and they did. and they've been good since then. but -- and that's been, as you know -- you've been here so many times, been a big part of our recovery, is kind of -- the resiliency of the people here, the spirit. but the saints -- it helped in so many ways. so, you know, we were also used to having super bowls here. and it's been 11 years. and that's too long. but the city has worked -- everyone has worked so hard -- first to get a game back here, and then to get our city in shape to show off to the world. i want this game to be special for new orleans. and i think it is because of the harbaugh thing. >> jack harbaugh, jim and john's father, said you told him, hey, at least when the boys play each other, we can root for eli on offense and payton on offense.
4:09 pm
you've got two coaches where both sides of the ball matter. >> everybody thinks it's so great. it is a great story for everybody else but it's not -- that game is not fun for them. i'm not sure coach harbaugh and mrs. harbaugh will be able to enjoy the win like the relatives of the other players on this winning team this week, because they're going to have a son -- one of their sons is going to be the losing coach, too. and it takes a lot to get over that. >> since you're a quarterback expert, can you compare and contrast the two quarterbacks from this football team? >> i like both the quarterbacks. i see a is that right between joe flacco and eli. joe is a big, strong kid. obviously a great arm. and just playing really well right now. colin kaepernick, that's really interesting. the 49ers have -- they have really done a good job, kind of honing his throwing motion but at times letting him be an athlete and running these different options. so that's good for football.
4:10 pm
great for a super bowl. and i tell you, i bet the ravens' defensive coach is a little concerned. two weeks for the 49ers with this quarterback who has started, what, just ten games? you know, what new things they might put in -- >> not a lot of film on him. >> using his athleticism. and can he show the composure and the confidence that he's played in these other playoff games here in the biggest game of all. >> archie said the toughest thing about watching that game is knowing all the cameras are on you, just waiting to see, are you rooting for one son more than the other? >> he's been a treasure, archie has, to the game and to the city, obviously. still to come, we're joined by a couple guys who know what it's like to play in the super bowl. cris collinsworth played in a couple of them. and howie long. and we'll hear from the most wanted man in new orleans. and over the next hour, we're going to be showcasing the city of new orleans. and the people who love it.
4:11 pm
and whether you're into the big easy because of the food, the saints or borbon street, the who-dat is a place like no other. >> my name is shorty, and my new orleans is music. i've been all over different continents and when i come back home, i go out on the street, play with some of the brass bands, get over to my grandmother's house for some good gumbo. i think about 4 or 5, i can remember a little bit, older musicians playing in my ear, showing me with my hand what i was supposed to do. when another musician died, all the musicians come out from different bands and we make one big band to celebrate the person's life that passed. so music is in our blood. and music is new orleans. i think it's the heartbeat of the city. twins. i didn't see them coming.
4:12 pm
i have obligations. cute obligations, but obligations. i need to rethink the core of my portfolio. what i really need is sleep. introducing the ishares core, building blocks for the heart of your portfolio. find out why 9 out of 10 large professional investors choose ishares for their etfs. ishares by blackrock. call 1-800-ishares for a prospectus which includes investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses. read and consider it carefully before investing. risk includes possible loss of principal. for those nights when it's more than a bad dream, be ready. for the times you need

seven and a half years ago, parts of new orleans under 15 feet of water. the university of new orleans says the economic impact this weekend, $434 million. hi, everybody, welcome back to
4:15 pm
kickoff in new orleans. a cnn bleacher report special. i'm jared greenberg. you know, of course, big-time players make big plays in big games. no greater stage than the super bowl. 49er fans, get ready to pump your fists when you see this list. the bleacher report's top five best super bowl performances. jerry rice in '95 was dominant. great day for doug williams and timmy smith, 204 rushing yards. jerry rice, super bowl xxiv, did it again. denver on the wrong end. jere jerry rice was huge. san francisco never looked back, young breaking joe montana's record with six touchdown passes. and there is joe montana. the top super bowl performance, montana led san francisco to a 55-point outburst. 22 of 29. 297 passing yards. joe montana has bleacher report's top super bowl performance of all-time. if you want to see the complete list and get up to speed on
4:16 pm
everything you need to know about super bowl xlvii, we encourage you to log on to bleacherreport.com. rachel, back over to you. >> thanks, jerryd. we now welcome in bleacher report's behind the mic contributor and fox analyst, howie lo how howie long, one of the best-ever defensive lineman, 13-year career. hall-of-famer, just a few things in there. >> been a good run. >> howie, good to see you again, man. >> good to see you. >> and you know, it makes us feel old when we think about it being 30 years ago -- >> right. >> that you won your super bowl ring. >> right. >> speak for yourself, ernie. >> believe me. i am speaking for me and for howie. we do feel old. have you seen a super bowl in recent memory that there's such a division of opinions split almost down the middle on the reasons the ravens will win this and the reasons the niners will win in? >> i think that's why this game will probably be as watched a game as we have had in maybe the
4:17 pm
history of the super bowl. one, just the audience, the television, the experience at home is so great. and two, the two teams are so great. and then the east coast, the west coast. two head coaches who are brothers. two teams that really are a mirror image of their head coach. i kind of take that toughness, that physicality to heart. and i -- it's interesting, because i think they're both kind of bullies. and something has got to give. and it's going to give tomorrow. >> both teams say tough off the bus from the very start. >> and they really are. and they pride themselves on that. baltimore has been -- has been doing it for a long time. san francisco trying to establish themselves. so, as a matter of fact, i go back to that game in baltimore last year, where 49ers lose to baltimore, first time they coached against one another. and i think that was a really good learning experience for san francisco. this is what championship football is about. this is when it's ratcheted up another level and what physicality is about.
4:18 pm
>> only 16-6 in that game. everyone expecting an offensive explosion. we'll see which way it goes. >> take me inside the mind of a player right now, a shade over 24 hours from kickoff. did you want to back then fast forward the clock and say let's play this game now or did you need that 24 hours to try to get in the right frame of mind after a week or two weeks of getting ready? >> you know, i always kind of felt the moment before the moment of impact was always the most unnerving. the closer you got. the faceless enemy, pregame warmups, the speeds, the -- you know, all of the things leading up to it. that's great. but it's kind of like being in a fight. once you're in the fight, you're fine. but it's the moments before the fight and the first collision. once it's a collision, it's just a football game. the jets, the star spangled banner, all the hoopla, the 4,000 media. and i think these players are primed, they're ready to go, they're well-prepared.
4:19 pm
and i think they're excited. >> and this week, of course, always a time to talk about the game, the state of the game, as well. roger goodell, talking about a lot of topics the other day, but one of the big ones was an 18-game schedule. the players have been pushing back. what do you think? >> well, you know, it's interesting. my perspective at 25 versus 5 3 is considerably different. you know, 13 surgeries later, versus when i was 25. i understand now the carnage and the price you pay on the back end. and i think because the game has gotten so much bigger, so much faster, so much more physical, i think we're at the envelope. it's almost like we need restrictive plates. and i think to add two more games to an already really long season, these guys who are playing in this game, you know, some guys are sitting at home for four or five weeks. >> you know. and you talk about reaching really a critical stage in the
4:20 pm
game of football. and you can tell, when the president feels compelled to weigh in on what's going on, he says, i think those of us who love this sport are going to have to wrestle with the fact, it will probably have to change gradually to try to reduce some of the violence. it may be a little less exciting. but it will be a whole lot better for the players. and fans maybe won't have to examine our consciences quite as much. roger goodell responded to what the president said. >> i started playing the game when i was in fourth grade, tackle football in washington, d.c. and i love the game of football. and i started as a fan. but i wouldn't give back one day of playing tackle football. the benefits of playing football, teaching you the values, teaching you character, teaching you how to get up when you're knocked down, how to work teamwork, they're extraordinary
4:21 pm
lessons in life that i use to this day. >> howie, this has been discussed so much this week. and you, as a former player, and you as a dad whose son plays in the nfl, you hear from people saying what are they going to do next, play flag football? how do you see it, and are you concerned for your sons' future in football? >> well, there's a couple things. and when my older boy chris, who plays for the rams, came to us. and i remember the conversation like it was yesterday. he said i want to play football. and we didn't push it when i was young. and i remember lying in bed that night as most parents do, staring at the ceiling, and you're talking about, well, what do you think? i don't know, well, maybe he'll get his nose bloody and come home. little did i know he would go on to become an all-american in college. >> well, he does have some good genes. >> now we have another son, kyle, who will be in this year's draft. my position was to form a player. and i understand parents -- their reluctance to have kids play football. my thing was, i can't help you
4:22 pm
with your biology. i can't help you with your chemistry. but i can teach you how to hit people and how to defend yourself. so i helped coach all three of my boys for eight years. i certainly understand the reluctance of some parents. and i certainly understand that we need to clean the game up. and the commissioner, i think -- the goal is a noble one. but it's the implementation. you know, if the ed reid hit and subsequent suspension to me, i didn't see that as a suspension. i didn't see that as an egregious hit. when it's an egregious hit, find them, suspend them, bring them up. i agree. >> 30 years from now, will we still be playing the same kind of football we are right now? >> it will probably be faster, and i think we're slowly moving away from the head contact. the problem is, if i am launching -- and you have to launch at some point. to hit you as a receiver or running back. and at the last millisecond, you adjust your head in reaction to my coming at you, now i've gone
4:23 pm
from hitting you in the chest to hitting you in the hit. >> exactly. >> you can't control that. here's the sport. you stand down there 40 years with a fiberglass helmet on, i stand here 40 yards from you. we run full speed at one another. that's an inherent danger in football. that's reality. >> and a guy who knows more about that speed collision than almost anyone in the league is ray lewis, who will be playing his final game, his last ride. and take a look at some of the stats. 26th overall pick. and by the way, ray lewis can recite every single player taken ahead of him. two-time a.p. defensive player of the year, super bowl mvp, and, of course, he has told his teammates, fans, and anybody else who will listen, this is his last ride. so what do you think as this guy is leaving the game, the kind of impact he had? and what kind of note is he going out on? >> well, you know, i think it's been kind of an odd week for ray, and it's unfortunate. because i think the super bowl and ray's career should be
